The correct answer is A.

A regressive tax is applied uniformly to all taxpayers. Therefore, every person pays exactly the same, but such payment means a higher burden for those taxpayers with a lower income. If you earn 100, paying 1 as tax doesn't mind a lot to you, but if you earned 10 it would mind much more.

The most important regressive tax is the value added tax (VAT), in which a certain percentage of the price paid for a product is charged on top as a tax. If you buy rice, the percentage charged as VAT is the same for all consumers, but that amount of money would mean more to a humble shop owner than to the US president, for example.

Why were early people able to use baring land bridge
Brums [2.3K]
We (as in 2016) cannot use the land bridge because of the melting of the glaciers. Back then the glaciers were still in one piece and the sea levels were much lower than now. This allowed the early people to cross the bearing straight.
